Snakebite shots, poolside lounging, and fluffy gyros stuffed with charred veggies…

Ain’t no shame in the Malia game.

7 nights in Crete’s liveliest town for £295pp. Grab your mates and get this one booked. Bonus - flights are available from a bunch of airports Norwich? Sure. Cardiff? We got you. Exeter? Why not. London? Obvs. Plus loadssss more.

Malia, eh?

The party capital of Crete with a strip that never sleeps and beaches packed with watersports.

Listen, it’s not all tequila slammers and proposing to strangers at 3am (but we love that bit too). Malia’s got a cobbled, Medieval side. Skip over to Old Town for a breather or recharge on the sugar sand beaches.

Where will I sleep?

The ideal Malia base for a group of mates has to have two things…

Location - this guy's is sitting pretty right at the top of the strip. That means easy access to the bars and restaurants and just a short stumble home at the end of the night. You’re also just a 20-minute walk from the beach.

The second thing? Pool. Obvs. Hotel Frixos is packing a decent pool with a swim up bar. Plus there’s a small gym, games room, and sauna.

What will I do?

All white furnishings, cocktail glasses shaped like skulls, and swing seats…. Mango Cocktail bar and Mint are one side of the strip. The other side is shots cheaper than water and neon strobe lights in Street Bar and Help Bar.

Pick a lane.

Next day, take the 20-minute walk to Malia Beach. Choose Elia Restaurant for classy glasses of chilled vino on the terrace or Dolphin Bar for laid back vibes and a mashup surf-pirate theme. For dinner try Drossia. They’ve got a terrace straight out of Mamma Mia with olive trees, plates of mussels, and flickering candles.
